Star Spangled War Stories #13

Two desperate Allied soldiers face a nail-biting standoff in a shell-torn trench, one urging the other to defuse a massive Nazi bomb — its swastika markings unmistakable — while his terrified companion cries out that he simply can't do it. Jerry Grandenetti and Joe Giella deliver a cover that captures the gut-level tension of men pushed to their absolute limit under fire. This September 1953 DC anthology also promises four tales inside — "One-Ton Terror," "Command Performance," "Battle Detective," and "No Escape!" — making it a compelling snapshot of postwar war comics at their most gripping.
